I would have done the same thing in his position. People talk about pain, grief, sadness when one passes but the financial aspect of a funeral is a real thing too. Now it's one less thing to worry about for them. No money in the world can bring their daughter back but it's heartwarming nonetheless to see the amount of support the familly received.

No offense, but don't people have life insurance for this stuff? If you live in NY or GA and need some coverage DM. I got you!

I don't think I'm ever going to pass judgement on Adam Levine ever again. It's incredibly humble that he personally called and offered to pay for the funeral and airfare. I'm even more impressed that he didn't flaunt that he was going to finance it, but instead did it privately. Good for him!

This is exactly what I was trying to say earlier. Sociopathy/psychopathy and other anti-social personalities/disorders aren't really the same thing as mental illnesses. I'm only a layman, not an expert, so I'm cautious talking about the subject.

They've said the same shit about Christina, so I'm not about to believe or be bothered by this.

I don't remember anyone saying Christina didn't form relationships with her contestants. She still keeps in touch with Chris, Sylvia, Jacquie, and now Alisan even after the show.

If they lived in the right state (like GA or TX), the Grimmies could damn near move and pay off a new house to start over in with that GoFund...either way, glad they will not have to worry about financials for a while.

So either I choose to believe all of it, choose to believe none of it, or choose to believe it's not some huge deal one way or the other....I go with option 3.

Tina isn't even talking about that though. People from other teams or people that don't know coaches might think there is a bias (like Cassadee Pope from Blake's team not being fond of Adam).

But he's talking about Shakira's OWN team calling her out for being ice cold. I know what Tina is talking about where the contestant was upset that other coaches on other teams would talk to their teams off camera but Shakira wouldn't talk to hers. And then after this contestant was eliminated Shakira didn't even talk to them!

I believe Grimmie was the main breadwinner of the family at this point and her mom has had cancer several times and I believe has it again. So in the big picture, it might not really be that much money. But it's good now that they don't have to take funeral expenses out of that amount with Adam paying for it

COLTS NECK - As news of “Voice’’ singer Christina Grimmie’s killing spread, fellow “Voice’’ contestant Jacqui Lee of Colts Neck was too distraught to comment, according to her mother, Denise Lee.
“Please send strength and faith to the Grimmie family,’’ Denise Lee said.
Jacquie Lee and Grimmie, and their parents and families, developed a close bond while contestants on “the Voice,’’ the NBC talent competition show for vocalists, Denise Lee said.
